Genesis 29 (ILOULB)

1Ket intuloy ni Jacob ti panagdaliasatna ket nakadanun iti daga dagiti tattao iti daya.Jacob resumed his journey and came to the land of the people of the east.

2Idi kimmita isuna, nakakita iti bubon iti tay-ak, ket adda nakitana a tallo nga arban dagiti karnero nga agid-idda iti abay ti bubon. Ta manipud iti dayta a bubon ket painumenda dagiti arban, ket dakkel ti bato nga adda iti sungaban ti bubon.He looked and saw a well in the field, and near it lay three flocks of sheep, because the sheep were watered from this well. And a large stone covered the mouth of the well.

3No kasta naurnongen dagiti amin nga arban sadiay, itulid dagiti agpaspastor ti bato manipud iti sungaban ti bubon ket painumenda dagiti karnero, ket ikabilda manen ti bato iti sungaban ti bubon, a sigud nga ayanna.When all the flocks had been gathered there, the shepherds would roll away the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well.

4Kinuna ni Jacob kadakuada, “Kakabsatko, taga-anokayo?” Ket kinunada, “Taga-Harankami.”“My brothers,” Jacob asked the shepherds, “where are you from?” “We are from Haran,” they answered.

5Kinunana kadakuada, “Am-ammoyo kadi ni Laban nga anak ni Nahor?” Kinunada, “Am-ammomi isuna.”“Do you know Laban the grandson of Nahor?” Jacob asked. “We know him,” they replied.

6Kinunana kadakuada, “Nasayaat kadi ti kasasaadna?” Kinunada, “Nasayaat ti kasasaadna, ken, kumitaka sadiay, um-umay ni Raquel nga anakna agraman dagiti karnero.”“Is he well?” Jacob inquired. “Yes,” they answered, “and here comes his daughter Rachel with his sheep.”

7Kinuna ni Jacob, “Kitaenyo, tengnga ti aldaw tatta. Saan pay a daytoy ti umno nga oras a maurnong dagiti arban. Masapul a painumenyo dagiti karnero ket kalpasanna, mapankayo ket bay-anyo ida nga agarab.”“Look,” said Jacob, “it is still broad daylight; it is not yet time to gather the livestock. Water the sheep and take them back to pasture.”

8Kinunada, “Saanmi a mabalin a painumen dagiti karnero agingga a saan pay a naurnong amin dagitoy. Ket itulidto dagiti lallaki ti bato manipud iti sungaban ti bubon, ket painumenminto dagiti karnero.”But they replied, “We cannot, until all the flocks have been gathered and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the well. Then we will water the sheep.”

9Kabayatan a makisarsarita pay laeng ni Jacob kadakuada, dimteng ni Raquel agraman dagiti karnero ni tatangna, ta ipaspastorna dagitoy.While he was still speaking with them, Rachel arrived with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.

10Idi nakita ni Jacob ni Raquel a putot a babai ni Laban a kabsat ti inana, ken dagiti karnero ni Laban, immasideg ni Jacob, intulidna ti bato manipud iti sungaban ti bubon ket pinainumna dagiti arban ni Laban a kabsat ti inana.As soon as Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, with Laban’s sheep, he went up and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle’s sheep.

11Inagkan ni Jacob ni Raquel ket nagsangit iti napigsa.Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept aloud.

12Imbaga ni Jacob kenni Raquel a kabagian isuna ti amana, ken isuna ket anak ni Rebecca. Kalpasanna, nagtaray ni Raquel ket napanna imbaga kenni tatangna.He told Rachel that he was Rebekah’s son, a relative of her father, and she ran and told her father.

13Idi nangngeg ni Laban ti damag maipanggep kenni Jacob nga anak ti kabsatna a babai, nagtaray isuna a nangsabat kenkuana, inarakupna, inagkanna, ken inkuyogna iti balayna. Imbaga ni Jacob kenni Laban amin dagitoy a banbanag.When Laban heard the news about his sister’s son Jacob, he ran out to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his home, where Jacob told him all that had happened.

14Kinuna ni Laban kenkuana, “Pudno a sika ket tulang ken lasagko.” Ket nakipagnaed ni Jacob kenkuana iti agarup maysa a bulan.Then Laban declared, “You are indeed my own flesh and blood.” After Jacob had stayed with him a month,

15Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Laban kenni Jacob, “Gapu ta kabagianka, rumbeng kadi nga agserbika kaniak nga awan aniamanna? Ibagam kaniak, ania ti kayatmo nga itedko kas tangdanmo?”Laban said to him, “Just because you are my relative, should you work for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.”

16Ita, addaan ni Laban iti dua a putot a babbai. Ti nagan ti inauna ket Lea, ken ti nagan ti inaudi ket Raquel.Now Laban had two daughters; the older was named Leah, and the younger was named Rachel.

17Napungay dagiti mata ni Lea, ngem napintas ti pammagi ken langa ni Raquel.Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was shapely and beautiful.

18Inayat ni Jacob ni Raquel, isu a kinunana, “Agserbiak kenka iti pito a tawen para kenni Raquel, nga inaudi nga anakmo.”Since Jacob loved Rachel, he answered, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”

19Kinuna ni Laban, “Nasaysayaat nga itedko isuna kenka, ngem ti itedko isuna iti sabali a lalaki. Makipagnaedka kaniak.”Laban replied, “Better that I give her to you than to another. Stay here with me.”

20Isu a nagserbi ni Jacob iti pito a tawen para kenni Raquel; ket kasla bassit laeng nga aldaw dagitoy kenkuana, gapu iti ayatna para kenkuana.So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, yet it seemed but a few days because of his love for her.

21Kalpasanna ket kinuna ni Jacob kenni Laban, “Itedmo kaniak ti asawak, ta naan-anayen dagiti aldawko - iti kasta ket maasawak isuna.”Finally Jacob said to Laban, “Grant me my wife, for my time is complete, and I want to sleep with her.”

22Inummong ngarud ni Laban dagiti amin a tattao iti dayta a lugar ket nagpadaya.So Laban invited all the men of that place and prepared a feast.

23Iti rabii, innala ni Laban ni Lea a putotna ket impanna kenni Jacob ket kinaiddana daytoy.But when evening came, Laban took his daughter Leah and gave her to Jacob, and he slept with her.

24Inted met ni Laban ni Zilpa nga adipenna a babai kenni Lea a putotna nga agbalin nga adipen ni Lea.And Laban gave his servant girl Zilpah to his daughter Leah as her maidservant.

25Iti agsapa, ni Lea met gayam ti adda! Kinuna ni Jacob kenni Laban, “Ania daytoy nga inaramidmo kaniak? Saan kadi a nagserbiak kenka para kenni Raquel? Apay ngarud nga inallilawnak?”When morning came, there was Leah! “What have you done to me?” Jacob said to Laban. “Wasn’t it for Rachel that I served you? Why have you deceived me?”

26Kinuna ni Laban, “Saanmi a kaugalian nga ited ti inaudi nga anak a babai sakbay ti inauna.Laban replied, “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older.

27Palpasem ti makalawas a rambak ti kasar para iti daytoy nga anakko, ket itedminto met kenka ti maysa pay kas kasukat ti panagserbim kaniak iti pito pay a tawen.”Finish this week’s celebration, and we will give you the younger one in return for another seven years of work.”

28Kasta ngarud ti inaramid ni Jacob, ket lineppasna ti makalawas a rambak para kenni Lea. Kalpasanna, inted ni Laban kenni Jacob ni Raquel a putotna kas maysa pay nga asawa daytoy.And Jacob did just that. He finished the week’s celebration, and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife.

29Inted met ni Laban ni Bilha nga adipenna a babai kenni Raquel tapno agbalin nga adipenna.Laban also gave his servant girl Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her maidservant.

30Isu nga inasawa met ni Jacob ni Raquel, ngem ad-adda nga inayatna ni Raquel ngem ni Lea. Nagserbi ngarud ni Jacob kenni Laban iti pito pay a tawen.Jacob slept with Rachel as well, and indeed, he loved Rachel more than Leah. So he worked for Laban another seven years.

31Nakita ni Yahweh a saan nga inayat ni Jacob ni Lea, isu a pinagsikogna daytoy, ngem ni Raquel ket awanan iti anak.When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

32Nagsikog ni Lea ket naganak iti maysa a lalaki, ket pinanagananna iti Ruben. Ta kinunana, “Gapu ta nakita ni Yahweh ti panagsagabak; ita, ayatennakon ti asawak.”And Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Reuben, for she said, “The LORD has seen my affliction. Surely my husband will love me now.”

33Kalpasanna, nagsikog manen isuna ket naganak iti lalaki. Kinunana, “Gapu ta nangngeg ni Yahweh a saannak nga inayat ti asawak, intedna pay ngarud kaniak daytoy nga anak a lalaki,” ket pinanagananna iti Simeon.Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has given me this son as well.” So she named him Simeon.

34Kalpasanna, nagsikog manen ket naganak iti lalaki. Kinunana, “Ita, maisinggalut kaniakon ti asawak, gapu ta tallon a lallaki ti annakmi.” Isu a pinanagananna daytoy iti Levi.Once again Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and she said, “Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.

35Nagsikog manen isuna ket naganak iti lalaki. Kinunana, “Ita, idaydayawko ni Yahweh.” Isu a pinanagananna iti Juda; kalpasanna simmardengen isuna nga aganak.And once more she conceived and gave birth to a son and said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” So she named him Judah. Then Leah stopped having children.
